Resting today. Went for a breezy walk and took in the fresh air, this morning. Ate a vegan lunch. Planning a movie and snack later tonight. Restful day. No big deals.

Spent a few hours last night installing artwork at home, which required a lot of exercise (for me, stretching, bending & lifting). Walked 1400 steps this morning and another 800 this afternoon. On track for another short walk tonight.

Short walk this morning ...I was on pace for 2000 steps, until I saw a neighbor (with a mental illness) had firemen, ambulance and 4 sheriff's at his house. Finished the walk with a little sadness. I just found out the worst news from another neighbor about what happened. A permanent solution...

Made appointments with: neurologist, eye doctor to look for cataracts, womens clinic (time for a mammo, ugh), an SE therapist, and an online session with my Psychiatrist. Glad I got that list all booked, now I can put the calendar away. YAY.

Spent all the day yesterday researching online how to go about divorcing an abuser I haven't seen in 20 years. Made an appointment for a workshop put on by the division of the court, Yes, faced the fear! and at am getting the courage to get this started! Ate healthy breakfast this morning and...

I have an appointment for a Divorce Workshop in a couple of weeks at my location division of the court. Taking this step has actually relieved much of the paralyzing fear, like, I feel stronger for at least making the appointment. I printed all the documents. Not knowing where this guy is or...

Thank you for sharing your story. Though painful, I can relate to the struggle. I married 20 years ago and left after the immediate onset of drug, emotional and sexual abuse including his arrest after an extreme offense of domestic violence. I just found out he never filed the divorce papers...

Great idea and I look forward to seeing it!!

"Is there any chance, on any level, or...uh...say, at any point in time... that I could get a suggestion or a reply other than another question or a nod? Yes? Or, no?" "Are you self medicating or juggling your social life in your mind while I speak?" then, Sing the following..."Hello? Is...

I walked twice today for a total of 2500 steps!! I am working up to 2900 within the upcoming two weeks. Building stamina AND it seems I am sleeping a little better. Numbness and tingling is more manageable, too. Hope to add 400 steps every two weeks. Goal is to join the Y by spring with...

...when I hear someone talk in their sleep and take it personally.

Loved giving both my service animals a shower, puff dry, comb and even clipped their little nails. They're napping after all the attention and seem pretty and happy. Resting after a short walk and vegan lunch. Made a number of calls and set up appointments for way past due health...

Stepped up the pace on my second walk of the day. Getting the heart rate going helped clear my head quite a bit. Thanks for all the suggestions. And, skating? My husband and I bought matching huge red roller skates when we first met. It was hilarious the way all the bladers stared at our...

...when I spend two days and sleepless nights worrying about the physical and blood exams and I leave the doctors office feeling very informed. Sheesh....

Welp, not much to report. Too paralyzed about going to the doctors office. Now, its done and all that worry amounted to a very informative discussion. So, went for a walk when I got home....hmmm about five minutes. Planning a walk down to the beach this afternoon. I saw a free download on...

I am new to this site and am currently in a healing crisis...meaning I am taking lots of rest, exercise and better diet while taking a break from therapy. After a re-traumatizing event and a ten day hospitalization to stabilize, it is just time to settle down and get right with mind/body and...

Tried a new thing today. Made roll ups with vegan flat bread. For me, horseradish sauce and a dab of mayo, spread to the edges. lean sliced roast beef lay it end to end in center. Top off with celery and carrot sticks, two whole pieces of romaine lettuce. Roll one side over entire contents...

So I counted my steps during a 20 minute walk on the beach. Vacuumed the house and rugs, too. Spent time in the kitchen chopping vegetables. Then, another 5 minute walk. Nice pace considering I was paralyzed with fear this morning after a nightmare. Powered through it and GOT out of the...

..when someone says, "It's a beautiful day at the beach" feels like pressure to go outside enjoy it.

...when I get suspicious of kindness from others.

Got out of the house this morning, a huge accomplishment just leaving the house! Walked for ten minutes, balance ball and resistance bands, then some mindful yoga/stretching. Told to rest as much as I can until the spring. After bed ridden for so long its hard. I want to sprint!! Planning a...

I am getting a full blood work up on Monday will let you know any improvements seen with this new menu plan I have been eating. Fingers crossed!

Made a new version of chopped salad last night by adding fresh chopped thyme and oregano to the mix (a little goes a long way). Adding goat cheese to the finished dish along with sliced almonds, blackberries olive oil and jalapeno vinegar. Pow! Another idea I like is using the chopped mixture...

Feels like a small setback with only two 15 minute walks today. The weather effects my physical symptoms. But, I did go for two walks anyway!! YAY! Yesterday, my husband walked with me and asked, "wanna try to power walk?" My reply...."I am!!" LOL

Stocked up on tons of veggies and chopped it all up to keep on hand for when I feel like binging or as a quick meal. Gave my service animals catnip and played with them for a long time. Napped after a long walk. Taking time to heal, I get inpatient with myself. Started a paint by number...I...
